Here on the equator, if you try you might just glimpse all the stars of both northern and southern hemispheres in one 12hr period. NIGHT SKY is our starry-night indigo blue shelter with 360 degree views of the surrounding dunes. Built on stilts with a neem wood floor, NIGHT SKY features braided palm-leaf walls framing open windows, inviting in Africa’s dark sky.

Woven kindu doors open on to a star bed balcony, leading to expansive views of the front dunes and Indian Ocean - the perfect spot to lay back and gaze at the sparkling night sky, long gone lights and shooting stars. It was these very stars, constellations and planets that for centuries guided Arab sailors as they traveled by dhow between East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula trading gold and spice.

Should you prefer to spend the night indoors, fall fast asleep while gazing up at star lights suspended from the thatched-roof ceiling.

NIGHT SKY comes furnished with:

• Double bed

• Two nightstands with beaded reading lamps

• Hand-carved wood chest for safe-keeping of valuables

• Floating day bed

• Swing bed - hand-carved from cypress wood & overlooking the back dunes

• Desk & chair

• Coffee table & chairs

• Walk-out front balcony

• Indoor ensuite bathroom featuring glass tile inlay celebrating the constellations
